How to Speed Up your Pendrive-Data Transfer

Are you looking to make your pen drive speed up for data transfer ?
Then you are at the right place.The data transfer PC to Pendrive or from pendrive to pc  depends on 3 main factors 

1.Type of files being transferred :

music,video and office file will be transferred with a much higher rate compared to application files, you must have experienced this shift

2.Aging of pendrive:

This point is common for any device, older pendrives have a very slower rate of transfer 

3.Port version of the usb

nowadays almost every pendrive is a USB2.0 device wen such usb is inserted in a old system which has a usb port version of 1.1 the data transfer will be drastically reduced

well the above 3 factors can not be controlled but there is a simple 3 step process which can give you the max out of your pendrive 

ALWAYS SELECT NTFS FILE SYSTEM:

we cant transfer larger files(>4GB) if the pendrive is not in NTFS mode so right click on pendrive click on format and under file system select NTFS , it  is preferred to uncheck on quick format.

CHECK FOR DISK EROORS

Under the properties tab of pendrive click on tools and then click on "check-now" button under error checking menu and start the scan to fix errors if any , depending on the size of pendrive it may take some time depending on the size on pendrive.

CHANGING DEVICE POLICY

Under pendrive properties tab click on hardware select your usb device and click on properties a new window should pop up in that window click on change settings.

Now move on to the policies tab and check better performance and atlast click on ok.

Note: If you change the device policy and check on better performance then you must always eject your pendrive only after clicking on safely remove your usb option in task bar and it is always recommended to remove the pendrive from usb port wen it is not in use.
